   • Gradient and the distance between two points
   • The midpoint of a line segment
   • Equations of straight lines
   • Parallel and perpendicular lines
   • Collinear points, intersections and shapes
   • Summary

   Review In Form One you learned to plot points, find gradients and write the equation of a straight line in the form y = mx + c. In Form Four we add the distance formula , the midpoint formula , and the conditions for lines to be parallel or perpendicular . Distance between two points The distance between A(x 1 , y 1 )…

   • Area of a triangle using sine
   • Area of regular polygons
   • Prisms and cylinders
   • Pyramids and cones
   • Spheres, composite solids and recasting
   • Summary

   Area of a triangle using sine When two sides a and b and the angle C between them are known, the area of a triangle is Area = ½ ab sin C For example, with sides 10 cm and 12 cm and an included angle of 30°: area = ½ × 10 × 12 × 0.5 = 30 cm 2 . A regular polygon with n sides can be split into n congruent isosceles…

   Solids and their parts A three-dimensional (3-D) figure has length, width and height. A solid bounded by flat polygon faces is a polyhedron ; examples are the cube, cuboid, prism and pyramid. Cylinders, cones and spheres have curved surfaces. Each polyhedron has faces (F), edges (E) where faces meet, and vertices (V)…

   • The language and calculation of probability
   • Experimental probability and expected numbers
   • Combined events: mutually exclusive and independent
   • Tree diagrams
   • Summary

   What is probability? Probability measures how likely an event is to happen. It is a number from 0 to 1. An impossible event has probability 0, a certain event has probability 1, and an event that is equally likely to happen or not has probability 1/2. Key terms Experiment : an action with uncertain results, such as…

   • Trigonometric ratios of angles from 0° to 360°
   • Graphs of sine and cosine; simple equations
   • The sine rule
   • The cosine rule, bearings and areas
   • Compound angle formulas
   • Summary

   Angles beyond 90° Using a unit circle, sine, cosine and tangent can be defined for any angle from 0° to 360°. The signs depend on the quadrant : 1st quadrant (0°–90°): all ratios positive. 2nd quadrant (90°–180°): only sin positive. sin θ = sin (180° − θ), cos θ = −cos (180° − θ). 3rd quadrant (180°–270°): only tan…

   • Scalars, vectors and their notation
   • Magnitude, direction and unit vectors
   • Adding, subtracting and multiplying vectors
   • Position vectors, midpoints and proofs
   • Applications: velocities and forces
   • Summary

   Scalars and vectors A scalar is a quantity that has size (magnitude) only, such as mass, time, temperature or distance. A vector has both magnitude and direction , such as displacement, velocity, force and acceleration. "5 km" is a distance (scalar); "5 km on a bearing of 060°" is a displacement (vector). Writing…

   • The determinant and the inverse
   • Solving simultaneous equations with matrices
   • Matrices and transformations
   • Summary

   What is a matrix? A matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers in rows and columns. A matrix with m rows and n columns has order m × n. In this book a 2 × 2 matrix is written on one line as [a b; c d], where the semicolon separates the first row (a b) from the second row (c d). For example, [2 1; 3 4] has first row…

   • Linear programming: key ideas and forming constraints
   • Graphing constraints: the feasible region
   • Finding the optimum: vertices and search lines
   • Solving linear programming problems
   • Summary

   What is linear programming? Linear programming is a method for finding the best possible result, such as the maximum profit or the minimum cost , when there are limits (constraints) on resources like money, time, land or raw materials. The limits and the quantity to be optimised are all linear (no squares or products…
